    I’m working on the design and stuff of Rainmaster’s website. Was working on getting it SSL and switched the urls to https. Now I can’t get a login screen to come up, and the website is no longer working. I’ve been researching all day on how to change the config file or add a redirect, but with no success. Help lol

    Site working on is rainmasterqc.com, Hosted by GoDaddy, made in wordpress

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    -have you checked report using this tool: https://www.whynopadlock.com/
    -did you purchase SSL from GoDaddy? if yes, maybe the GoDaddy support team can offer guidance and check on the configuration.

    I converted the urls inside of WordPress during the purchase. When I added the “s”, as soon as it refreshed it went 404.

    I went the ssl on godaddy route to try to get the https working after the issue. Either way I’m locked out, the login screen doesn’t even come up. So, I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to go in the back door and force change the urls inside of WordPress back to http://. So far the stuff I’ve changed has done nothing.

    *If you want to “start over”, you can change stuff in your database directly from “https” to “http”. Make a backup before changing anything in the database.

    *If you are using GoDaddy, are you able to find the area containing the database? If you are now sure where to find the database, please ask GoDaddy’s support team to show you how to access.

    *You can use a plugin like https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/better-search-replace/ to help with change from https to http.

    *Have you contacted GoDaddy Support for guidance to be sure the SSL is properly set?
